Founded in 2002 by Canadian entrepreneur and Bordeaux collector Cliff Lede, the estate sits in the heart of the Stags Leap District, one of Napa Valley's most revered Cabernet Sauvignon appellations. Rather than simply purchasing an existing property, Lede undertook an extensive replanting program, matching individual rootstocks and clones to specific soil types across the estate. The result is one of Napa's most meticulously mapped vineyards, with each block farmed for its highest potential.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"789\" data-end=\"1181\"\u003eMusic has always been woven into the winery's identity. Vineyard blocks are named after classic rock songs and albums—from \u003cem data-start=\"912\" data-end=\"935\"\u003eDark Side of the Moon\u003c\/em\u003e to \u003cem data-start=\"939\" data-end=\"950\"\u003eMoondance\u003c\/em\u003e—and music plays throughout the cellar during harvest. Today, the second generation has taken the reins, with Jason Lede leading the winery while preserving its commitment to precision farming, sustainability, and age-worthy wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1183\" data-end=\"1665\"\u003eAlthough Cliff Lede built its reputation on world-class Cabernet Sauvignon—including the flagship Poetry bottling—the winery has quietly become one of Napa's most complete portfolios. Estate Sauvignon Blanc blends fruit from multiple Napa sub-appellations with old-vine Sémillon for texture and complexity. Chardonnay comes from the estate High Fidelity Vineyard in Carneros, while the red wines illustrate the evolution from broad Napa Valley blending to single-vineyard precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1183\" data-end=\"1665\"\u003eWines to be tasted:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"35\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e2024 Cliff Lede Sauvignon Blanc $38\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"37\" data-end=\"67\"\u003e2024 Cliff Lede Chardonnay $55\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"69\" data-end=\"119\"\u003e2022 Cliff Lede Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon $80\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"121\" data-end=\"155\"\u003e2023 Cliff Lede High Fidelity $100\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"157\" data-end=\"184\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e2023 Cliff Lede Rhythm $125\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAll prices listed shown are regular retail.
